DPS analytics

Applies to

This article refers to Digital Publishing Suite. For the AEM Mobile article, see Analytics.

The Analytics page of the DPS Dashboard lets you track the user data of your custom viewer app. When you subscribe to the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite with a Professional or Enterprise account, you get access to base-level analytics for all your apps. This data includes the number of issues downloaded and purchased, the top content and ads, and the number of application installations. Base analytics offers a number of different reports, including devices and operating systems.

If you have an Adobe Analytics (previously called "Omniture SiteCatalyst®") account, you can get access to more detailed user data.

All Professional and Enterprise apps gather anonymous usage data for all app types, including single-folio and multi-folio apps. This data is collected whether users are online or offline. If you are required to allow your users to opt out of analytics data collection, you can enable an opt-in option when you build your app in DPS App Builder. Analytics data is not gathered for apps created with a Single Edition license.

To avoid analytics data that displays “::unspecified::,”
specify titles for all articles in article properties. Also, whenever
possible, give real names to your overlays to make it easier to
interpret analytics data. For example, use “Twitter Link” instead
of “Button 4.”

When you sign up for a Digital Publishing Suite subscription (Professional or Enterprise), you are assigned a master account ID that lets you use the Account Administration tool. Use this tool to assign the “Application” role to an Adobe ID. As part of that process, you provide the necessary information to enable Adobe Analytics (previously called "Omniture SiteCatalyst"). Make sure that you specify the same Company Name you use to sign in to Adobe Analytics. Once you provide this information, it can take as long as five days to enable analytics. See Account Administration tool.

If you believe that your analytics account is not set up properly, contact an Adobe representative. Gold support contact information appears on the DPS Dashboard.

If you have an account with Adobe Analytics, you get access to the full set of features at my.omniture.com.

Only
an Adobe ID account provisioned with the application role lets you
view the Analytics page. To view analytics, use the same Adobe ID
that is used in the Folio Builder panel to upload content for your
custom Viewer app.
